Pallet Rack Supports
Material Handling Exchange is a leading provider of various accessories for rack systems, including pallet supports. These supports play a critical role in enhancing the stability and integrity of selective storage rack systems. While they do not increase the load bearing capacities of the pallet rack system, they help improve the overall rigidity of the system, ensuring the safe and efficient storage of pallets.
Pallet supports offer several additional benefits beyond the primary function of improving rack system stability. One significant advantage is that they reduce the potential for bowed rack beams when correctly attached. This reduces the risk of damage to the rack system and ensures that it remains stable and secure.
In addition to preventing bowed rack beams, pallet supports help to stabilize the entire rack system. They provide additional support to the beams and the pallets, ensuring that the rack system can handle the weight of stored items without buckling or collapsing.
Another benefit of pallet supports is that they facilitate the loading and unloading of pallets. In particular, forklift operators can load pallets on deep and hard-to-see rack sections by providing a place to “catch” a misaligned pallet. This makes it easier and safer to work with pallets in the rack system, reducing the risk of accidents and damage to goods.
Pallet supports also provide an added layer of protection for pallets by reducing the potential for dropped loads. By offering additional support to the pallets, they help prevent them from slipping or falling off the rack, reducing the risk of damage or injury.
The open style of the pallet supports is another significant advantage. It prevents water, foreign material, and debris from becoming trapped, ensuring that the rack system remains clean and hygienic. This is particularly important in environments where cleanliness and hygiene are critical, such as food processing or healthcare facilities.
Material Handling Exchange uses 14 & 16 GA galvanized-structural sheet steel to manufacture their pallet supports. This material reduces the potential for rust while providing the strength needed to create a stable platform with a yield strength that exceeds many of the competitors’ offerings. The durable galvanized finish will provide years of protection, ensuring that the pallet supports remain functional and effective for years to come.
It’s important to note that pallet supports do not contribute to the load capacities cited by rack manufacturers. Pallet supports are intended to add support to the pallets, while load capacities are determined by the configuration of the rack and the type of beams used. However, pallet supports help to facilitate the overall effectiveness of the rack system by improving stability, workability, and safety of the system.
Overall, pallet supports are an essential accessory for most rack systems. They offer several benefits, including enhancing the overall integrity and stability of the rack system, reducing the potential for bowed rack beams, stabilizing the entire rack system, facilitating the loading and unloading of pallets, providing an added layer of protection for pallets, preventing debris from becoming trapped, and using durable materials that prevent rust. By adding pallet supports to a rack system, businesses can improve the efficiency and safety of their operations while ensuring that their goods remain secure and protected.
